Abstract

En 中文
Classical nanofluidic frameworks account for the confined fluid and ion transport under an electrostatic field at the solid-liquid interface, but the electronic property of the solid is often overlooked. Harvesting the interaction of the nanofluidic transport with the electron transport in solid requires a route effectively coupling ion and electron dynamics. Here we report a nanofluidic analogy of Coulomb drag for exploring the dynamic ion-electron interactions at the liquid-graphene interface. An induced electric current in graphene by ionic flow with no bias directly applied to the graphene channel is observed experimentally, featuring an opposite electron current direction to the ion current. Our experiments and ab initio calculations show that the current generation stems from the confined ion-electron interactions via a nanofluidic Coulomb drag mechanism. Our findings may open up a new dimension for nanofluidics and transport control by ion-electron coupling.
